We need to know what we can do when we find stranded sea
lions at the beach. These animals spend a great amount of their
time on land, so they might be just resting when we find them
at the beach. However, if they show signs of malnourishment,
disease or entanglement (presence of net or other objects in
their bodies) we may notify PROFEPA. In Ensenada, the ICMME
(Research and Conservation of Marine Mammals of Ensenada)
is a civil association that offers assistance in these cases. Unfortunately, we do not have adequate infrastructure for the rescue
and rehabilitation of these marine mammals in Mexico, unlike
California in U.S.
